Feel free to mark this thread as resolved. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/277979#post-1111921 Sun, 21 Jun 2009 18:48:30 +0000 markb1439 1111921@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Let me clarify that I was mistaken. It was not this plug-in revealing it. The revealed location was adjacent to All In One SEO Pack code, and I misread it.</p> <p>In summary, the idea of putting your WordPress installation in a directory with an obscure name really isn't such a benefit after all. It may make it harder for automated scans to find a WordPress installation, however the location of the directory is revealed in your page's source code in the links for CSS and other components. One of those links is what I mistakenly thoughts was the work of this plug-in.</p> <p>Again, let me say...my bad...what I reported was not caused by this plug-in. :-) </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/277979#post-1097134 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 12:03:56 +0000 hallsofmontezuma 1097134@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>How exactly is All in One SEO Pack revealing the secret location of your WordPress installation? Do you mind giving a link to your site so that we can look at the source code? </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/277979#post-1096525 Tue, 09 Jun 2009 20:06:41 +0000 markb1439 1096525@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>When I create a WordPress site, I follow the recommendations of some security experts by putting the installation in an obscurely-named folder such as "wp-live-5Gd83", then setting the site URL to point to that (and, of course, putting the appropriate path in index.php at the root level of the site.</p> <p>Of course, the idea is to keep the inner working of WP hidden.</p> <p>But, it seems that All In One SEO Pack adds this location to the source file, thus eliminating the security by obscurity that I have set up.</p> <p>Am I missing something? Is there any way to eliminate this behavior?</p> <p>Thanks. </p>
